Accommodation and facilities:
I stayed at the Kala for 10 nights. I enjoyed my stay there and do think it s good value for money. There were some pros and cons to the hotel.
The hotel is located in between chaweng and lamai and has a pretty great view of the ocean. The beach isn t really a swimming beach however. It s on the wrong side of the island for swimming. The swell was significantly larger on this side compare to the other side where it s quite flat. The hotel is slightly dated/old and starting to show some wear. I imagine it would have been amazing when it was first built. You will need to hire a mo-ped from the hotel to get to most places. The road is too dangerous to walk on. It s about 5-10 mins from Chaweng and Lamai on the bike. We hired one for 8 days and didn t have any problems when returning it.
The reception ladies were extremely helpful and nice and I couldn t speak more highly of them. The ladies at breakfast can get quite flustered when it s busy and need to be more accommodating to the customers. The hotel puts on an al a cart menu for breakfast which is quite nice. But it gets very repetitive if you stay more than 3 days. There needs to be more options and better coffee.
The infinity pool was fantastic and has a great view of the ocean. As do most of the rooms.
Most of the time the hotel was quiet but at night you can hear the cars on the road and there is a nest of birds in the vents which is extremely annoying first thing in the morning.
All in all, great value and a good option for a lower end hotel.

It s our honeymoon trip and the room is simply terrific. The 6 ft bed and the 180 boundless seaview are awesome. We enjoy the room, the food, the pool, the kayak, the spa, the service...well, everything! With this room rate, it s really a good bargain. The hotel is a bit remote from the city centre but free shuttle bus is provided.

Accommodation and facilities:
beautiful view but that s all. Beach access is only by walking on the main road, free shuttle to lamai provided by hotel only once per day at a time nobody really would use. So be ready to be always looking for a taxi. Tours proposed by hotel happened to be nothing like what was explained on paper. Staff even though kind too limited. Overall disappointing

Reservation service:
all was perfect

Accommodation and facilities:
Good Views - found it to be very steep - lots of steps. Breakfast was rather boring - could only choose from a set menu. Rather disappointed in our room location as we booked in July for our December holiday and found we where one row behind the good sea view villa s and the place was not fully booked out, we where there for 5 nights. No real privacy in your pool area. There is no beach in front of the hotel only big rocks, they do have a shuttle service to a nearby beach. If you want a very quiet holiday - the place to go.

Reservation service:
Excellent - will only book through Sawadee.

Our first trip to Samui, on our honeymoon. We had extensively looked up the hotel, and found it to be everything we expected!
Stayed at the Presidential Suite, and found it to be more than comfortable and EXTREMELY private.
A little pricey, but an overall excellent eperience!

Reservation service:
Quite efficient and reliable.

We have been really impressed by the quality of this hotel. The rooms, furniture and decoration are very well done. Lots of attention have been given to the design of this hotel. But most the staff is really nice and friendly. We would definitely return there if we have the occasion. Highly recommended.

Accommodation and facilities:
Fabulous views, warm, friendly staff. Very comfortable accomodation. Language barrier a bit of a problem (got the same breakfast each day:not what we ordered) Private pool villas not so private. Would have preferred if transfers were part of the deal. Thought a bit odd that extra charges were levied to have fresh milk supplied for the morning and evening, in room, coffees. But on the whole a great experience and would not hesitate to return: and probably will soon. Far enough away from downtown Chaweng to be tranquill but close enough to commute there each day in approx 15 mins. 10 mins in other direction is Lamai beach which is far less crowded but with less services available still, a great beach. We hired a motor scooter for approx $8.00 (au) per day (at the hotel) and toured around the island. Found our own elephant trecking, waterfalls, deserted beaches and discovered the real Koh Samui and its people, a fantastic and safe experience. I would recommend this holiday and thank the staff at the Kala for their attention and service.

Reservation service:
Booking service easy and straight forward, no fuss, all was done as requested.
